Are there any Fed ships that CAN'T be obtained anymore?

davedriscoll90davedriscoll90 Member Posts: 19 Arc User
Hey I was just wondering for the sake of my collection if there are currently any federation ships that absolutely can't be obtained anymore?

So far I know of the Legendary 10th Anniversary ships, and the Oberth class which is glitched out (at least for me and a few others according to google search).

Are there any others that are currently unobtainable by any means? I was saving for a freedom exploration frigate but it's gone from the exchange and now I'm wondering if that one is extinct as well.

Any help appreciated.

    Oh okay, dang. But at least that one seems possible to obtain if someone happens to choose it.

    Thanks for reply, and if anyone knows of others that are for sure no longer obtainable drop them here.

    Yeah I'll hold out hope that someone posts another one on exchange. Up until two days ago there was one on exchange for 1.5 billion, but I don't quite have enough.


    Also wanted to note that I know about the Pioneer utility cruiser only available to TOS starfleet characters during tutorial, and also about the Discovery shuttlecraft only available to DSC starfleet characters. Both are bummers but I can live with it.


    Really wish they'd fix my unpurchasable Oberth Class though......been glitched out since the march update that was supposed to make tier 1-4 ships cost dilithium instead of zen....

    Okay that's good to know about the andorian escort. As for mirror ships, I've been on the fence about even starting to collect them since there are so many and they are essentially recolors with a few exceptions.

    Thanks, keep 'em coming. (Unless that's everything lol)

    There's no Steamrunner anymore on the Consoles despite it being released later on PC (for God know's what reason!).

    Damn really? That sucks. I like the steam runner it is unique. I wish the Norway class was in the game too.

    I also heard that many console users have the same Oberth glitch that I have on PC where the purchase button is permanently grayed out.

    The only ship I can think of is the pre-refit Fleet Patrol Escort. Before the Tempest came out, the old Fleet Patrol Escort didn't have a fused tailgun. The current Fleet Patrol Escort Refit does.

    Interesting. Do you know if the 3d model was changed for everyone or if old players who bought it earlier still have the non fused version?
  • dirlettiadirlettia Member Posts: 1,632 Arc User
    I havent opened the Mirror box to get one recently but they probably still come without the fused gun as I dont think they got changed.

    Still waiting to be able to use forum titles

    The Mirror cruiser Guardian Class 0 imho, though currently untainable, I have a feeling Mudd's market will have it with an insane price. The Legendary Bundle should be back soon, I predict it will appear either around Black Friday or Christmas - or if ever Pelosi decides to agree on a stimulus package for the American public.

    It is not a very good ship, so no big lost

    Freedom class from the alternate Trek timeline is unobtainable due to player's choice - I suspect Cryptic messed around with the drop rates again, so those promo and T6 Lockbox drops are Extremely difficult to obtain now. someone mentioned around 2,000 keys to MAYBE obtain a T6 ship, and who knows what's the data on a promo drop.

    We are talking several hundred dollars US up to a grand for a chance at a drop. Chances are extremely low

    Man that is disappointing. I'm at the point where I have most federation ships except some really, really expensive ones and some fleet exclusives. I guess this is where 'finishing' my collection becomes a real grind.

    And of course the Oberth glitch I keep mentioning (can you tell I'm bitter? Lmao). Just really annoying to be barred from getting a measly T1 ship that happens to be a canon ship I really want just for novelty.


    EDIT: I just realized that khitomer alliance battlecruiser is also not obtainable anymore after the 10th anniversary event ended. I wasnt sure if I really wanted it but I guess its *sort of* a discontinued federation ship. Maybe it will show up on mudds market.

    I still have the non fused version on a character because I never upgraded her to T5U.

    Andorian Kumari-class Light Escort only available from a Promotion in the Heros of the North Bundle from Neverwinter. It is a T1 ship but has three weapon mounts.

    The T5 Ambassador class.

    It was originally a reward for Temporal Ambassador episode during the 3rd year anniversary. Then it was given away as an account unlock during summer 2014.

    Since then, there has been no other way of getting it.

    Didn't know about this one either. Does the other ambassador (t6 I think?) Have the same variants or does the T5 have a special look?

    gone from the exchange

    This also, sadly, means that if some DO pop up on the exchange they're liable to be expensive due to their rarity.

    Some ships fade in and out of the exchange. Currently there is a really low stock overall for the non-overly popular or recent ones.

    As for the Freedom, well I have one in a box in my acc-bank. The cruel joke is that it's account-bound, because some backend-security-measure last year was slightly overtuned and many players randomly got bound ship-boxes.

    Damn that's harsh. I'm still hoping one will pop up again. If it's been out over a year I doubt itll get added to the infinity lock box pool unfortunately.

    It won't... because its an R&D Promo ship. It was never lockbox.

    Damn I just realized Inquiry isnt a lockbox ship either. There was a bunch on exchange last week but now those are all gone too.

    I'm a little less interested in this but what about that Picard ship la sirena or whatever? Is that one another limited time pickup?

    Yea. The La Sirena was also a promo.

    One of my favorite ships both from the way it looks and performance is at the moment pretty much impossible to get unless your very lucky and find someone selling a one of the few if any remaining codes. Enterprise E, variant Vizier Command Assault Cruiser with the Launch Metreon Gas Warhead.

    Well I guess you can get the Fleet version. A few of the impossible to get ships in here might be possible to get via the Fleet version if you don't mind losing the benefits of the core version.

    Steamrunner was released on PC first with a console release coming along later. There used to be a pack you could buy on steam that was about $25 or so and would give you the t5 steamrunner, t1 steamrunner, 3 boffs, and some basic starting gear for your toon. That pack was later retired for whatever reason. For a time there was no way for folks to get the steamrunner until they re-released it in the form of the pack we have today, minus the little odds and ends it gave previously. I still have the original pack on my account from years ago.

    It's actually available in Mudd's Market ever since that was added, just really expensive for a single ship.

    Thought it was removed as I no longer see it in Mudds market. But then again I own it, so perhaps it doesn't show anymore? Is it still the crasy price of 17k ZEN?

    yes, it's still 17K when not on sale - every ship in mudd's black market is that price​​

    While the Mirror Guardian Cruiser is not directly available it is just made out of standard parts with a custom paint scheme. The gamepedia page tells what those parts are so you can get the shape exactly right, and it gives the paint values so you can at least get the colors right though you might have to approximate the pattern with one of the standard ones.
